My mom, sister, and i went to Seagrove yesterday to visit the potteries. Thanks to the rain there were very few other shoppesr, but it was beautiful while we were in Seagrove proper.
I first went to Seagrove when i was in college and working for the campus art gallery/museum. I supported a tour of the area for Friends of the Gallery and became smitten with the area and collecting, myself.
This trip, when i would mutter about change, i'd also follow up by doing the math and realize it has been a while since that first trip.
Ben Owens the III has a generous home next to the store now. And i still can't quite bring myself to pay that much for a plate (~$75-100) at Westmoore Pottery. (I ended up buying a history of their pottery. I thought they were "newcomers" but their pottery has now been around thirty years. It *was* new when i first visited the area, but they have deeper roots in the area than i realized.) Johnston and Gentithes is often out of my range but clever and wonderful.
